Description
In python, I find that passing a data structure to a function/class makes me
think the function/class has a local copy of it.
In the case of redirect_data, the parent step should "own" the data structure,
and child steps should "reach" into the parent to fetch it, instead of using
a locally stored reference. Then it's more obvious that it's a "borrowed"
data structure and its change should be visible to sibling steps.

Do not pass a data structure to a function and mutate it.
